The Hottest Day Ever and London's Burning ... Literally

Whatever is causing these fires and heat wave will be examined and hopefully will be manageable moving forward, in the meantime sending COOLING vibes to the UK ! 🌦. Hot as Heck in Cali too 105 degrees where we’re at and it’s tough even when you’re prepared for it !

I zoomed out on that map to see the rest of UK.
How come there are fires in the middle of the North Sea or is the heat just getting to me and I'm missing something quite simple?

It appears the 12th Century St Mary & St Peter Church in Wennington has been destroyed by fire.

Sad news.

Not sure , but most likely those in sea are from oil fields, offshore oil rig have those burners 24/7 that burn gas or something, and the satellites up there can see the heat signatures.

I saw the map and for a second I though all the oil companies over here were on fire

You have to respect the heat. You don't fight it.

You move slowly, you cover up -- wear long sleeves, loose clothing, and a sun hat. Keep home window coverings closed.

Get up early, do what you gotta do -- quit early -- restart in the evening. There's a reason those on the Equator take mid-day siestas.

I keep my A/C at 80. But, sometimes inside temp is higher. I do use a fan to circulate air.

I don't understand why some try to compensate by turning their home into a refrigerator.

Because respectfully, not everybody has had to live their life like some desert horny toad. The Sonoran Desert doesn't have 9.5 Million people living there for a reason

I'm born and raised in Los Angeles. 40+ years.

Actually, straight out of Compton.

Yeeh, i never have really understand why they have to burn the gas , specially now when there is shortage of gas . If look the map area on Iraq/kuwait/iran they really burn that stuf alot in the oil fields there.

Butt...im not an engineer, so that`s my excuse

it's not just the gas they burn.
I worked at one of those sites for a year (long time ago). Whenever something is off with one of the products or mixed wrong, they burn the whole batch. I live miles away now and at night I can still see the flame sometimes, and every time I wonder wth they are pumping in the air now?
Accidents and fires happen so often that they have their own fire department.

Spent the afternoon travelling around London, smoke everywhere in all directions. Never experienced heat like it in the UK, even the breeze feels like a hair dryer. Drenched in sweat when i got home. Half the day spent picking my boxers out my ass crack.

a reply to: KindraLabelle2

Yes, I know what you mean. I worked for Occidental Petroleum in their London Office and was involved in data retrieval for the lawyers who came over from the USA. The company had had the major accident on their Piper Alpha oil rig in the North Sea where 165 men lost their lives.

The widows of the workmen were taking the company to court and the lawyers needed 5 years worth of old telegram correspondence (no email at the time) between their offices in the US, Aberdeen in Scotland and London. I got massive overtime bonuses for basically working 12 hour days, 7 days a week for a month.

Respectfully how long did it take for you to get acclimatized once you moved straight out of Compton to straight into the Sonoran Desert?

Because FWIW Compton's average temp is 22 degrees less than the average temperature of Goodyear AZ in July.

I take this all as amusement meanwhile. I mean that grossly exaggerated panic hype in the media. If it rains - climate change. If it is foggy - climate change. If it cold in a winter - climate change. If it is hot in a summer - climate change... We seem to have no weather anymore it´s all "climate change". And panic where there is absolutely no reason for panic.

I was out in a park for more than 8 hrs per day, in the blazing sun, yesterday and today. In that "extreme heat wave" of nearly 40°C. That lasted for exactly two days. Right in the middle of the summer, how dare the temperatures? Couldn´t find any piles of corpses because of that "extreme heat wave" and i searched like a bloodhound. Seem to be the same invisible piles like the corona piles.

I don´t even have a sunburn like i had nearly every day as a child, when we had summer weather like this nearly every summer for weeks, often without any rain. In 2006, when there was the world football championship in Germany, it was the same weather like the last two days here in Germany for several weeks and nobody cried: "climate change and we will all die" but had the summer of their life in Germany, it´s called Sommermärchen (summer fairy tale) for a reason. Because of the good weather paired with the championship. In 2022, after nearly three years of Great Reset and Green New Deal propaganda (including the corona BS and the climate BS) we are not allowed anymore to be happy about good summer weather (till now it was not one of the good summers here and spring was very rainy this year too).

The Great Resetters use this average summer weather for spreading panic. A few days ago the beings who act as german politics warned from freezing in the winter and that we need frost shelters for those that can´t afford heat anymore (a problem the politics created btw). Widely spreaded by their presstitutes. Today they come up with heat shelters and a possible office for heat things or whatever. Because of two days of summer weather in a row right in the middle of the summer. You can´t make this sh!t up.

The temperatures around Europe will fall 15-25 degrees Celsius the next 24hrs. But we had special broadcasts in TV: Special: The Heat Wave... And i bet if it feels a bit cold losing 15-25°C in a few hours the climate activists will scream again: Climate Change and we all will have to die. Here in Germany they even pulled WEF-Chucky, Greta Thunberg, out of the moth box again to keep the easy-minded people here in panic. Yesterday was the first day of the "extreme heat wave" and the first day WEF Climate Chucky appeared out of the sunset and in the presstitutes mass media. To tell us that we are doomed. They are all so ridiculously transparent, their cheap propaganda attempts to keep the people in a constant feeling of never ending crisis.

All the MSM are full of: Heat record in the UK, 40°C hit, hottest day since the beginning of temperature records. Which start in Germany in 1881. Every heat wave, average or hot summer before 1881 is simply ignored. Facts ignored, history ignored, everything ignored that could help to prevent a constant feeling of panic among the population. Because the goal is to keep the people in constant fear from everything.

Maybe next time a "killer heat wave" hits us we should glue some of those climate activists to some of our streets and see how many degrees we can lower the temperature with these measures. Or we simply should act like self-thinking and independent humans like we did before these "climate change killer heat waves" of two days with between 35-40°C in mid-summer, in a row, hit us. Drinking enough, not running a marathon in the blazing sun and if the blazing sun gets too hot, go into the shadow, move slower and chill, be happy about good summer weather. The next "extreme killer rainfall" and "extreme killer cold wave" of around -3 - -5°C for maybe two or three days in a row will hit us soon, fall and winter is coming. And never forget, it is never weather, it´s always climate change!!!

I do feel those fires are likely arson.
I am sure London and East areas of London have plenty of cameras unlike some places in Rome near the scrap yards unfortunately.

I was just giving practical advice.

I'm not interested in making it more than that.

Hey no problem, I often come across as condescending but don't mean to it's just the way I type.

For me I think that there are always vested interests behind what people are told and people are told things that are meant to work for the agenda of those that have those vested interests.

For example, food insecurity it is mostly engineered and there are valid study's that prove the world could sustain a population in excess of one hundred billion people.

Since the French revolution (and at an earlier time after the slave revolts in Rome that were led by Spartacus) the elite have considered culling the population, it was even done in part in some country's but population growth outpaced these EARLIER attempts (now whether there is a current attempt or not I will leave up to opinion though I believe that there is).

This was NOT about climate change or overpopulation (anyone that lives in a city will think the entire world is overpopulated because people congregate within city's) but about control, about fear of people demanding freedom and rights and this small elite losing there control.

Today they use the banking system to control, the stock market and economic control over nations but it is a delicate juggling act and they can and do lose control or have internal factional fighting for power among themselves so stock market crashes can be caused by either and also by loss of control by this elite.

So I see dark forces behind the current fear mongering over overpopulation which has been going on since the 1960's with so called experts projecting food crisis and global starvation in the 1980's back in the 1960's (one did happen but it was down to famine in east Africa), they also scare mongered about waves of people fleeing Africa to invade Europe because of climate change - they are doing so but because of war and economics not climate change as though that is happening there it has not yet been the main motivator behind this movement of people and there is plenty of arable land still available there and migrants are actually also coming from many other parts of the world into Europe and also the US mostly from nations that do not suffer a food crisis but that are much more poor so it is economic so they got that wrong as well.

These dark forces of which I speak are engineering disasters in my humble opinion.

The sea's ARE being over fished but not by traditional fishermen, rather by corporate super trawlers that are dragging the floor of the sea and even taking fry, many of these are owned by China but they are not the only criminals in this endeavour and to my mind wholescale destruction of the sea in that manner is even more important than worrying about climate change, the sea level's WILL rise and they WILL Fall, during the last glaciation they were hundreds of feet lower, during and they have in the past been hundreds of feet higher and they will be both lower and higher again with or without human intervention.

Deserts become jungles and vice versa.

The planet has experienced climate change more rapid than it is now many times in the past and also far more severe than it is today.

So even if we had a magic wand and could stabilize our climate right now it would only be temporary.


Now don't get me wrong I am NOT a climate change denier and neither do I deny that our current culture is harmful to the planet but it is not the number of people it is how our current society is using our technology's and our throw away mass consumerism (Which is fine if we do it better and more eco-friendly), we can for example build the skyscrapers for farms instead of offices, imagine each floor is a field growing crop's, with fish or protein farm's, we can even do this as nature reserves if we wanted to and create sky bridges and animal city's but we don't.

If humanity got off it's arse we would all be surprised what it can do when it put's it's mind to it.
